Urgent Key Decision Revision of electric vehicle charging tariffs

Decision Maker: Chief Executive Officer GMCA & TfGM

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The decision was published on the Register of Key Decisions on 13 April 2022 but on Friday 6 May will not have been on the register for 28 days.

The 25th March GMCA report Greater Manchester Electric Vehicle Charging Tariff Part A Report Template (greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk) set out the delegation to allow TfGM to be able to quickly respond to wholesale energy prices and to determine an appropriate electric vehicle charging tariff. A report is being prepared for a decision in early May.
The current EVCI tariffs were set on the basis of electricity costs of 14 p/kWh. Since January 2021, the wholesale cost of electricity has risen dramatically. As set out in the EV Tariff Report on 25 March 2022 there is a need to review and revise the EV tariff once the EV electricity costs are fixed.

A report is being prepared for a decision in early May. The current financial impact of these increases in electricity cost, without a corresponding increase in tariff, has resulted in TfGM incurring net costs of c£8,000 per month, compared to a surplus of c£9,000 per month when the cost was 14 p/kWh.

Without a general exemption the decision cannot be made until Thursday 26 May
